the bee the university of buffalo weekly vol 13 university of buffalo february 24 1933 no 18 japan not able to oppose world holds dr eddy last friday morning sherwood eddy spoke to the student body about the sit uation in the far east mr eddy is well qualified to speak on such a sub ject for he has spent several years there and furthermore possesses the rare gift of interpreting the life and nature of a foreign people mr eddy said that the war over manchuria is characterized by flaming nationalism and militarism in both countries and the blindness of each country to the case of her opponent in defense of japan's position there may be cited her treaty rights in man churia which china grant ed her in 1015 and later broke on china's side may be cited the four hundred years of pillage and robbery of her land which she has had to endure at the hands of nineteen nations and the treaty which japan was forced upon her by arms china was willing to abritrnte but japan refused answering with an army then breaking the league treaty the washington nlntf power treaty and the kellogg-briand pact of paris this re fusal on the part of japan is just the first step in her long premeditated plan to seize manchuria and force china to her knees in mr eddy's opinion secretary stimson's policy was the best which was offered by foreign powers this pol icy had three parts the pressure of public opinion diplomacy and economic caution this last is the most important part the nations should say impartially that if either country refuses arbitra tion insists on war and does not keep the treaties made in peace there will be no trade with that country for the dur ation of the war japan may leave the league and defy the world and survive but no nation uuu awj tuc woriu anu'suivive ami japan would go bankrupt ! already there are threatened riots a n d the condition of the hungry peas ants is pitiable if japan does not go bankrupt before the end of russia's 5-year-plan russia will ally with china over the ease of hie destroy ed chinese eastern manchuria railroad and tell japan to hand back the railroad with pa.vment for damages and ruined trade dr eddy prophesied and japan will have to fight or yield fifty million japanese against the combined millions of china and russia mr eddy also spoke about russia's condition giving as her one great evil her strong dictatorship and as her one challenging value her passion for so cial justice this latter is the greatest that has lkÂ»en known in world history russia is building not just a new rus sia but a new world they will do away with poverty alms unemployment and recurring wars the world declares dr eddy is on the threshhold of a new era and the crisis is not only in the far cast ; it is in germany america and the whole world actors and songsters produce joint program the blue masquers society and the men's and women's glee clubs are co operating in organizing a presentation of an evening of

outsid ers whose present unfilled demands total several hundred persons in order to provide a good time for larger body of fellow students than the capacity of old spain normally permits it has been necessary for the committee to make a number of additional ar rangements it is expected that everyone will co operate and do so in a spirit of consid eration which will insure the other fel low his

the depression year 1921 said prof epstein's report the return on capital for the 71 corporations was 3.8 per cent ten years later in 1931 it was exactly the same 3.6 per cent the 1932 preliminary figure however falls almost to zero 0.6 per cent the figure was obtained in part by making a rough estimate for one large company which on the basis of avail able material has an approximate de ficit of 82,500,000 without this com pany the return for the 70 companies was 2.2 per cent the study was based on the statisti cal tables which were published by the u s department of commerce in a book

reserve professor gehman talks on various types of geometry professor harry m gehman addres sed the philosophy club on february 15 over thirty faculty members stu dents and other friends crowded into the seminar room on the third floor of edmund hayes hall to hear him dis cuss some different types of geo metry dr gehman made euclidean plane geometry the standard of com parison and described the development of solid and analytical geometries which are ba.sed upon euclidean space he then pointed out briefly the essential difference between euclidean and non-euclidean spaces and spent the major part of the time on more general types of geometry the affine geometry seemed strange to any of us when we learned that although it is based upon the euclidean plane its axioms are such as to make the con cepts of distance angle and area so essential in our ordinary thinking entirely unnecessary but in both af fine and protective geometics ratios between points are preserved honieo morphlc geometry is a still more gen oral type in which even ratios between points ure unessential the homeo morphlc type was the most general that dr gehman discussed but he made it clear that any proposition true in homeomorphic geometry will be true in any other type of geometry professor gehman also cited some practical problems which are impossible of solution except by geometries cap able of handling four dimentional spaces in these more general types of geo metry one is not limited to four dimen sional spaces but the axioms ore such as to allow for n dimensions during the discussion which followed the lecture dr gehman said there could be geometries of intermediate generality between any two types dis cussed so that the types of possible geometries are innumerable although some of us are dilettantes in higher mathematics the material was so presented that at no time did we feel that dr gehman was talking only to the experts who were present world at dawn of new era declares dr j t shotwell the most important thing that the government of th e united states should do to preserve international peace is to place an embargo on the shipment of armaments to any nation which violates the kellogg pact or the nine power treaty said professor james t shot well pih d ll d who delivered the address at the thirty-third annual university day convocation in the au ditorium of edmund hayes hall on wednesday morning february 22 at 11 00 o'clock professor shotwell who is professor of history at columbia university and director of the division of economies and history of the car negie endowment for international peace spoke on the subject the united states in world affairs chancellor samuel p capen in mak ing brief introductory remarks em phasized as the greatest gain of recent years the intellectual freedom which permits discussion of the existing economic political and social order this analysis is the first step toward remedy which is the task and oppor tunity of this generation of university alumni the place of the universities is now more crucial than ever before since they are the principal dissemina tors of the increased knowledge which is demanded for the necessary read justments in the world today said the chancellor profi39sor shotwell pointed out that the world is now at the turning point not merely of modern times but of all times that it now faces a new reality which calls for the application of in telligence at every turn it is necessary to develop new instruments adequate to present problems aud these new in struments must be used in quiet times and in unimportant matters if they are to prove effective in important crises senior memoirs seymour ables is the proud possessor of keen hunor what have four years of college done for seymour abies one of the uni versity's most outstanding students â€” prominent in dramatics and extra-cur ricular activities and extremely popular with the co-eds let's inter view this magnetic personality with that irreslsrable humor oh he's in crosby 40 conducting try-outs o k we'll corner him during intermission and there we find him having the time of his life trying to slip the little ping pong ball over the net when gord'on hayes isn't looking we corner him after the game and beg an inter view after convincing him we are not there for try-outs his eyes twinkle as he settles down and lights up a camel one of the most important changes it seems to me he begins and what i consider to be invaluable in college is the gradual acquisition and development of a sense of humor this may sound strange but without this sense college life to me would be quite colorless and devoid of any interest i have learned to assume the broad outlook as advovcated by doc les white the extreme liberalism of this univer sity acts as a remarkable ibase for the fostering of this broad viewpoint i have also found that a cheerful attitude counts a great deal in this school of ours but flippancy and its opposite the gloomy-spirited type of behavior have no place here and a continual display of these qualities has a great effect in determining the reactions of fellow pupils and instructors it's deadly !" you ask about fraternities soror ities clubs athletics professors and dramatics well as to fraternities and sorerlties i think they should play a larger part than they do i guess the reason for their ineffectualness at u b is that the university is attended primarily by residents of the city and its environs which does not tend to breed the type of college life found in other schools where the majority of the students come from out-of-town athletics seem to have a fur greater effect than any fraternity for i have purple wins over bulls 44-37 gus walters high scorer nets 18 points the bulls journeyed wednesday night to niagara only to suffer defeat to the tune of 44-37 marsh stoll got . the tip-off as the game opened but almost immediately niagara scored 2 baskets next stoll netted a free shot and pelllcano followed with a field goal from then on until the end of the first half the score remained quite balanced and as the gun was fired niagara had a one-point edge over buffalo the latter having chalked up 20 points in the opening minute of the second half billy powell whom niagara had seen flit to guard heavily was benched on fouls smith replaced him hoff man followed powell to the bench not ' until stoll had 3 fouls against him did ' he calm down walters proved the outstanding play er of the evening ringing up 15 points his long and accurate shots from quar ter-court put him in first place for individual scoring as the end drew near the purple team began to outstrip the bulls and though the u b strove gamely to hold their opponents in check they were un able to do so stoll with 2 men on him was so smothered that he never broke loose the score of u b students who drove to niagara witnessed a good but not partlcularlv scrappy game the line-up follows :

a new reality which calls for the application of in telligence at every turn it is necessary to develop new instruments adequate to present problems aud these new in struments must be used in quiet times and in unimportant matters if they are to prove effective in important crises senior memoirs seymour ables is the proud possessor of keen hunor what have four years of college done for seymour abies one of the uni versity's most outstanding students â€” prominent in dramatics and extra-cur ricular activities and extremely popular with the co-eds let's inter view this magnetic personality with that irreslsrable humor oh he's in crosby 40 conducting try-outs o k we'll corner him during intermission and there we find him having the time of his life trying to slip the little ping pong ball over the net when gord'on hayes isn't looking we corner him after the game and beg an inter view after convincing him we are not there for try-outs his eyes twinkle as he settles down and lights up a camel one of the most important changes it seems to me he begins and what i consider to be invaluable in college is the gradual acquisition and development of a sense of humor this may sound strange but without this sense college life to me would be quite colorless and devoid of any interest i have learned to assume the broad outlook as advovcated by doc les white the extreme liberalism of this univer sity acts as a remarkable ibase for the fostering of this broad viewpoint i have also found that a cheerful attitude counts a great deal in this school of ours but flippancy and its opposite the gloomy-spirited type of behavior have no place here and a continual display of these qualities has a great effect in determining the reactions of fellow pupils and instructors it's deadly !" you ask about fraternities soror ities clubs athletics professors and dramatics well as to fraternities and sorerlties i think they should play a larger part than they do i guess the reason for their ineffectualness at u b is that the university is attended primarily by residents of the city and its environs which does not tend to breed the type of college life found in other schools where the majority of the students come from out-of-town athletics seem to have a fur greater effect than any fraternity for i have purple wins over bulls 44-37 gus walters high scorer nets 18 points the bulls journeyed wednesday night to niagara only to suffer defeat to the tune of 44-37 marsh stoll got . the tip-off as the game opened but almost immediately niagara scored 2 baskets next stoll netted a free shot and pelllcano followed with a field goal from then on until the end of the first half the score remained quite balanced and as the gun was fired niagara had a one-point edge over buffalo the latter having chalked up 20 points in the opening minute of the second half billy powell whom niagara had seen flit to guard heavily was benched on fouls smith replaced him hoff man followed powell to the bench not ' until stoll had 3 fouls against him did ' he calm down walters proved the outstanding play er of the evening ringing up 15 points his long and accurate shots from quar ter-court put him in first place for individual scoring as the end drew near the purple team began to outstrip the bulls and though the u b strove gamely to hold their opponents in check they were un able to do so stoll with 2 men on him was so smothered that he never broke loose the score of u b students who drove to niagara witnessed a good but not partlcularlv scrappy game the line-up follows :
